Here is what I got/wore with Angie:

Ali Ro tunic/dress + mint green low heel pumps (these are not going to be 8 hour shoes but they will be great for work).

Blush tunic. It's a size XL so I think it was actually from the kid's department. The top half is unfortunate for my big bust, but I loved the skirt part of it. I tried using a necklace to make a V but I think it will just have to be layered.

What I wore to the Russian Tea Room--

Angie brought one of her belts for me. It works here because it is the same color as the dress and it is adjustable. Also dresses are just easier to belt for me than separates. It's purely decorative here, not meant to cinch my waist. The dress is already fitted. I think it is too thin to use as a cinch belt.

I tried on a stretch belt at H&M that will probably be better for skirts or jeans/pants and will do a better job at cinching. I also have a skinny yellow belt but I need to figure out how to wear it and if it will be comfy. I'm not 100% sold yet, but I'm a lot more open. I'm going to try the sale section at Urban Outfitters soon to find a good stretch belt. Yes, I am wearing the BC booties and my feet were killing me by the end of the day, but that was because I didn't have any socks to wear with them! One of them bit into my ankle a bit. Do those of you that own them wear socks? What kind do you wear? I'm having trouble envisioning anything short enough! But once I get some good socks, they will be terrific. We walked and shopped a LOT. They are 6 hour shoes now but will definitely make it to 8 with socks.

You look sensational, WOW! I LOVE your Russian Tea Room outfit. Your new goodies are also incredible! Those mint green pumps are beyond adorable!

I bet shopping with Angie is the experience of a lifetime. I hope to be able to do it one day!

LOVE the tunic in the first picture. I love tunics but never seem to find any when I go shopping. For the second tunic it is more chest-minimizing layered but might work without the layers as well.

I love your outfits and your new stuff. I do wear sock with my BC booties and can go about 10 hours. Love those things. Thick tights worked well too.

Michelle: The RTR outfit is my LBD layered over a Marimekko for H&M top I got a few years ago. It's silk with banded elbow length balloon sleeves and big swirls of dark pink and turquoise. There are 3 big buttons on the front made with the same fabric. Angie gave me a black belt skinny belt with a little flower on the closure that I wore over it. I am wearing textured hose (sort of a crocheted chevron pattern) with my black BC booties with a 2" heel.

I didn't know until later that the Ali Ro tunic was probably upwards of $200 originally. I got it for $16

It all looks so stylish and fab on you! That Ali Ro tunic/dress and the mint low heels is especially adorable. I love the print with those big stylized red and pink poppies. Is the background brown or plum? The stlye with banded gathered sleeves and gathers under the neckline band reminds me of the Marimeko top.

You look fantastic. I'm so happy that you and Angie were able to shop together.
I like the first outfit layered as you said. Everything looks so of the moment. You make a good model.

I'm sorry, I meant I like the 2nd outfit layered as you said.

Great stuff! I love those shoes (and I'm really not much of a shoe person) - I'm totally jealous of those.

Maya - all those pictures look so stylish and fab, plus you just look downright adorable!!

The mint green shoes are incredible and the black booties look so perfect with the hose and dress.

I just love the outfit with the red jacket - the proportions are so perfect for your petite self. And that banded tunic outfit is so-o-o fab!

What fun - tea with Angie and shopping you couldn't ask for a better outing!

Lena

Maya, you look absolutely terrific! I've missed seeing your outfits.

Wow, the color scheme in your Ali Ro outfit is delicious and I'm taking notes.

Your Blush tunic looks like so much fun, especially the skirt part. I can't pick between the two layering options. It looks so good layered. Which one do you like the most?

I'm sorry to hear your BC booties were painful. I hope you can find proper short socks soon!

Your RTR outfit looks very fun and chic and stylish! And please pardon the image, I'm drooling over that hose/booties combination. I also agree that dresses are easier to belt than separates. For what it's worth, the black belt looks great on you.

Maya, what fab loot! The Ali Ro tunic is delicious and those mint green pumps are divine. The Blush tunic seems like it will be super fun to style. With your creative edge I can't wait to see what outfits you will come up with these tunics.

The RTR is simply fantastic. Everything from the Marimekko top to the BC booties. And the belt too

I'm glad that the BC booties worked out well for even as long as they did considering all the shoe disappointments in the past. I'm cursing having not bought them when I saw they were on sale last Friday.

I'm glad Angie and you had such a ball. I'm really looking forward to the picture

I'm loving how you are slowly leaking the details form the weekend. Your outfits are amazing and I'm in love with the green shoes.

Amazing! I love the first outfit best - what a bargain on that tunic!

Maya - you look stunning in all 3 outfits. I want them all. I have the BC booties too. I wore them all day without socks and my feet hurt so badly that it took 3 weeks for them to recover from the bruising! I do plan to wear them again but not when I have to do a ton of walking/standing for long periods of time. I am also going to wear them with socks - never again without. I am wondering if short workout socks will do the trick as they're usually below the ankle.

Maya, I LOVE everything you are wearing! You look wonderful. Wow, wow and wow. Just beautiful, and your figure looks so good!!!

How wonderful to have tea and go shopping with Angie! I love your purchases and your mint pumps. You look great in the tunics and skinny jeans. I'm also loving your RTR outfit and how that belt shows off your teeny tiny waist.

You look amazing in all three, Maya! That first outfit is LOVE!

Love the Ali Ro tunic and the mint heels, Maya. That outfit is pure awesome on you.

You guys are like chicken (well, vegetable) soup on a bad day like today. Thank you

Sihaya, I'm going to look for some footie socks, like so: http://cdn2.overstock.com/imag.....155610.jpg in black so they don't show. I found them very walkable but just not a good idea without socks. I can't wear pumps or ballet flats for 8 hours because of the socklessness. Tomorrow I might try wearing them with regular socks under pants and see how they feel. I'm sure they'll be much better. I also need to get some Superfeet insoles for heels with all these pumps I'm getting lately.

Okay, Maya, I've been around long enough that I feel like I can speak honestly to you. So here goes:

You are CRAZY and DEAD WRONG.

You say you can't wear a belt? WRONG. That belted dress and top is hands-down stunning and makes you look teenier than teeny-tiny. So no more claiming you don't look good in belts. WRONG!!!!! (Also, most belts are used decoratively, not for cinching. I see very few people who look good in a belt they've cinched their top with, mainly because doing so leaves you with too much bunched fabric which ruins one's lines.)

You say that tunic is only good for layering? CRAZY. WRONG. I didn't see any problem with it just with the necklace. None. I think because you are more sensitive about your chest size it seems like it stands out more, but I can tell from my impartial perspective that I didn't notice until I read your comments. I really liked the tunic without the layered jackets; I thought it was age-appropriate and adorable and I wished I could get away with wearing something as fun as that. I did not get distracted by your lovely rack.

In other words, you look amazing in all the looks. AMAZING. The tunic and mint shoes are adorable.

Maya, how fun for you, we are all so jealous. You look great, I love your tunic and shoes! I love the second outfit too, but my feet are hurting for you, so are you suppose to wear socks with the booties and hose? I geuss that makes sence, I'm new to some of these concepts...

Maya

Veteran

Oh my, such strong opinions Kristen! At least they are nice opinions My "lovely rack" is more pronounced from the side than from the front, which is why I thought a necklace might not do it. I think I'd feel fine in it if everywhere in the world was like YLF...but unfortunately the real world is full of men and catty women who think I'm wearing tight knit tops on purpose to show off my boobs.

I don't like the fact that wearing a layer means covering the cute zippers though. I'm going to try it with a waistcoat!

Carole, I mean no-show socks to be clear. I don't want socks sticking out of the boots! The hosiery wasn't enough for me. Perhaps if I had worn some wooly tights, but they aren't really my preference. I have a few cuts on the back of my heel from one of them
